Common mistakes
I received vaccination last week.I received a vaccination last week.
vaccination 在表示一次具体的接种时是可数名词，前面需要加冠词 a（或 the）。汉语没有冠词，容易漏掉；这里指上周接种的那一次，所以要加 a。
I vaccinated yesterday.I got vaccinated yesterday.
vaccinate 是及物动词，意为“给……接种疫苗”，不能单独表示“接种（疫苗）”。要表达自己接受接种，要用 get vaccinated（被动/系表结构）或 I was vaccinated。所以这里需改为 got vaccinated。
She got a vaccination of measles before school.She got a vaccination against measles before school.
表示“针对某种疾病的疫苗接种”时，介词用 against，意为“预防”，而 of 通常表示“接种的对象/人群”如 vaccination of children。这里“麻疹”是疾病，要用 against measles。

Learner notes
Memory Tip
记忆联想：vaccination 开头像 vaccine（疫苗），打完疫苗手臂上留的小疤痕就是 vaccination（接种/种痘的痕迹）。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：medical records、historical accounts、clinical descriptions 此义项指接种疫苗后留下的疤痕，比较常见于医学或历史文献中；日常英语中通常用 vaccination scar 或 vaccine scar 来表达，单独用 vaccination 指疤痕较为正式、专业。
Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all have the stressed sound /eɪʃən/ (the -ation ending), matching vaccination /ˌvæksɪˈneɪʃən/. Beware useful lookalikes that sound different: ration is pronounced /ˈræʃən/ and national is /ˈnæʃənəl/, so neither rhymes with vaccination.
